Man I can’t believe Jay is just casually playing MN giving tips and barely getting hit 😂 it takes me like 30 mins on the first level in MN and he’s just casually playing and finished it in 15 mins.
I'm so deep into NG right now. It's nice to have you're videos and commentary during my journey. My gameplay has elevated 10 fold since I found you're channel a couple weeks ago. Thanks and keep up with the high quality content
A lot of useful information here Jay, thanks! I just finished Sigma on Master Ninja recently for the first time and used a lot of your videos for information and help.
Jeez you make this look so easy, you are amazingly skillled! I have been stuck on this chapter for 3 hours so far trying to get MN rank. Going to keep trying but this is really insanely hard.
For me it’s the first mission on MN that’s tough. Make sure you use health when needed while trying to save at least 1 potion for Muari. And don’t give up! After the first mission the rest is fairly manageable. Jay is right UTs are important so you can have a good amount of money.
Just got the achievements for getting master ninja rank on all chapters. 1. All you have to do is get master ninja once on that chapter . So if your playing master ninja and get master ninja on some chapters but not all of them keep note on which ones you didn’t and then play again. All you have to do is get master ninja on the chapters you didn’t the first time 2. Racheals counts so you have to get legendary hunter on hers for the achievement to unlock 3. One thing I did for score since I didn’t do the fiend challenge to get the extra spirit of the devils was equip the equipment armor of intelligence that gives you a extra ninpo slot for the end of chapter bonus
thanks bro! I was wondering about this point number 1. I'll just run by enemies then for chapter 1 ... it's too difficult ... and sad to get owned so hard right off the go. also it's a secure place to start because it's the first chapter so no save nonsense to worry about. I wonder... is total finish time bonus a big factor to getting MN rank? I heard it's not exactly vital. I found farming essence to be invaluable tool for me in my Very Hard playthrough. If I could farm and still get MN rank that would be soooooo helpful. But ofc farming takes loads of time. Also i pause my game a lot to decompress and do lil chores around the house or nap lol
Having suffered through and beaten NGII on MN difficulty for the 360 back in the day, decided to give NGS a go for the first ever time since it's now on Game Pass and go for all achievements. After stuttering a bit through Hard I managed to get through VH fairly comfortably. Now having to get MN rank on all missions on MN difficulty and this mission was kicking my ass. Video definitely helped with some strats and approaches to fights and how to maximize karma. Hopefully follow along with the full series and get out the other end with my achievement.
Wow man you are True Master Ninja, thx for these vids. I keep getting Greater Ninja Rank. Trying to get my time down. I died about 150 times, but each time get a little better.
I swear 90% of my deaths on this stage on either VH or MH are due to the unblockable grab. It's so fast and the range is kind of insane. It's the ultimate run killer, and it's like no matter how perfect you're playing, one grab can ruin everything and can snowball into death in the blink of an eye before you even realized what happened. It's pretty infuriating. I've yet to come up with a way of dealing with it.
Hey Jay, thanks so much for the guide. One thing on my gaming bucket list I've never managed to do is complete a Ninja Gaiden on master ninja so these videos are going to be very helpful. I'm curious, do you plan on doing Sigma 2 as well? I know the game is contentious, but as someone that owns a Ps5 it's the only one I have available.
Pay attention to what the ninjas on the ground are doing when you are attacking the others. I've mentioned this before but when you launch an enemy watch what the ninjas on the ground are doing, if you see them repositioning near you, delay you combo with a shuriken and then if they roll delay again into helm splitter. That roll is very often followed by them attempting to grab you. If you keep your air combos delayed you will get grabbed significanty less as you force them to move as you land so they're not waiting for you.
The time limit for Chapter 1 on MN is 16 minutes 59 seconds so you definitely have time to save after each fight post the gauntlet at the beginning. What score did you get when you weren't getting the MN rank?
@@JayTB123 Thx for the reply, it was taking me about 24 mins so my score was low. I ended up putting on the Azure Blue Dragon Helmet and finally got MN Rank. Im on Ch3 now. Your commentary is so helpful. Thx so much!!
Hey Man just got MN Rank on all MN Missions! Thanks so much for ur videos. All I need to do is the master ninja trials then I’ll get the coveted Platinum Trophy. Thanks again!
Jay hopefully you can answer my question ... no worries if you're too busy though. But do you think i still get MN rank if i take my time per mission, farm essence, miss the end of mission time bonus, and follow everything else you do in the video closely ?
So i completed this achievement , and to anyone wondering ... yes in some moments i was able to farm essence and still make end game timer or sometimes miss the time bonus a bit and still get Master Ninja
this is so hard. can i leave this mission for last to get the master ninja rank achievement. just boot up a new game once i get everything else done. i'd rather just run by enemies to conserve health and potions.... it's pretty demoralizing to get owned this hard right at the beginning lolol
I've been trying for hours to get through the first chapter of Master Ninja mode. That room with the dozen flame ninja is just overwhelming. I notice you don't seem to get so heavily spammed by incendiary shurikens in your fights either. Is there something about these guys AI that I should be aware of in order to cut down on that?
In general they will throw them less if you keep them closer to you and if you launch one but leave them on the floor you'll only have two to deal with and they tend to throw them less then as well.
Hey JayTB your videos is awesome like always i have a question you play on ps4 or ps5 ? I play on ps4 my copy of Ninja Gaiden Master Collection have no decapitation on human only Fiends why in your videos human have decapitation tell me what copy NG you have
I am playing on PS4 for the moment, not tried it on PS5 yet. Not sure if there is some sort of region difference with regards to the decaps, they weren't in the EU/PAL versions of NG04 or original Sigma either.
@@JayTB123 I have disc copy of Ninja Gaiden Master Collection i import this from Japan and im from Poland i know Japan games remove some gore from the games but my friend buy NG Master Collection on digital and is the same no decapitation on human only fiends. On PC decapitation is normal like in Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden Black
@@reedyshadowryu6996 The Japanese and Asian English releases have censored decapitations in Sigma 1 & 2, the U.S. PSN* only version doesn't. I wanted to import a copy but this made me just bite the bullet and go digital. Razor's Edge isn't censored in any version. I heard the original Asian English releases of Sigma 1 & 2 had decapitations so that's really strange imo, but the Japanese version of Sigma games have always been censored.
Hey Jay tb. Really struggling with the red ninjas in the Murai fight. I have half health and Just 1 great elixir. You think i should Just restart so i have more healing items on Murai? Ty for great video.

Same, I'm so addicted to the series right now its insane. I've got NGB NG 2 and Master collection. I think it might be my favorite series.
A lot of useful information here Jay, thanks! I just finished Sigma on Master Ninja recently for the first time and used a lot of your videos for information and help.
Omg noob
4:04 look at the Karma
lol I never noticed this.
I’ve been doing a lot of research for my first master ninja run I’m gonna try to do and this is far and beyond the best TH-camr to watch for it
Awesome JayTB! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks brother!
So nice to see a JayTB upload! Keep up the amazing work, man :)

Murai's range with his grab is *obnoxious.* Bro, I'm across the stage from you--HOW CAN YOU BE GRABBING ME RIGHT NOW?!

8:48 Does it applie to NG2?? if so I haven't notice it still now, very interesting, thanks buddy
I DIE MORE IN CHAPTER 1 THAN I DO IN THE REST OF THE GAME XDDDDDD
Same MN is really only hard in chapter 1
@@Esc4me not really
how are you not getting grabbed all the time? im constantly dying to the ninjas jump grabbing me and stabbing me to death!

I’m pretty sure that back track saving adds an extra 5 mins to the mission time, I couldn’t get MN Rank until I saved only once.

The boss isnt even rushing you continuously like he does me. Definitely not the same
Btw did you liked SOR4? i personally play it at least once a week, i found it very fun!
Do you mean Streets of Rage 4? If so yes I absolutely love that game, need to get back and check out the dlc at some point.

Ty for great video.
Kill the ninjas first before attacking Murai so it make little easier
Posted as soon as I woke up

Please if anyone knows respond
The game time is still running when you're in the item menu.
L6 Love
You make the boss fight look too easy and it doesnt work out like that.
